Ken- The goofy contents-view thing is one of the many default folder options that can and should be changed in Windows machines. When I can't convince my clients to upgrade their OS (and even when I can) I always go in and change the default settings for them to give them some protection from viruses and cut down on some of the Windows confusion. They'll thank me later.
Open up a Windows explorer window - you'll find these under the Tools | Folder Options menu: go to the General tab and deselect all the Web content junk. Then select the Offline files tab and make sure Enable Offline Files is deselected. Go to the View tab and change "Hidden files and folders" to Show, *uncheck* the "Hide file extensions for known file types", and uncheck "Hide protected operating system files" (you'll get a warning, but do it anyway). Then click the "Like Current Folder" button. I don't have a Win98 installation any more so I'm doing this from memory and looking at a win2k computer, but I could swear this worked for the Windows folder there as well, and I think the "protected operating system files" setting is the key there. The default setting for "file extensions for known file types" is one of the main ways viruses propagate. Trevor, I realize this probably doesn't help your situation unless you have some control over the client system. -- -Mark Wieder [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
